The motion passed three to one with Council Member Coleman in the minority. The Committee then reviewed Bill No. 98-92 which is a substitute Bill. It is a zoning request for the property located at 3423 South Michigan Street. Mr . Michael Sklorenko made the presentation. He noted that the purpose of the rezoning is to allow the "J.E.
